Default Big news: Vollmer practiced in pads today

Quote:
Tackle Sebastian Vollmer did practice. He said Vollmer had a cast removed after the Broncos game and that he was close to playing against the the Ravens. It’s a “possibility” Vollmer will be active and play against the Giants....The Patriots practiced in full pads once again Monday. They were in full pads last Thursday as well.

Sorta. I'm of the opinion that Vollmer at anything less than 100% isn't good enough. If he's 91% out there, Brady's gonna get killed.

If we can go three TEs with a healthy Vollmer at RT, Solder, Aaron, and GRONK anywhere above 80%, the Giants are going to get steamrolled by the surprise factors, BenJarvis Green-Ellis, Danny Woodhead, and (if trusted) Stevan Ridley. Personally I doubt that BB trusts Ridley, but he would do the most shredding.

Not that surprising considering he was never IR'd. I'm not sure what other game they'd have been saving him for.

Sounds like he is closer, although I think he also practiced in pads before the Ravens game. If he plays, he gives them another big experienced body at RT and Solder can kick outside to TE while Gronk carves up Grant.

i think the fact that OL holding has apparently been legal so far this playoffs bodes well for the pats since the Giants biggest strength is obviously that front 4.

I disagree that a Vollmer at less than 100% is ineffective too, him rotating in and keeping others fresh is good stuff

So is that it for full-pad practices this week? I believe I read somewhere that teams get an extra day of it for each week in the playoffs, but I could be wrong.

Anyway ... good news on Seabass. Looking forward to seeing how much he practiced. It's too bad we've had to basically forget how good a player he can be, and maybe we'll see some of that at just the right time.

We will need all the big guys we have ... the pace of that game will be unreal and they may suffer from exhaustion without a rotation - this is great news.

I hope Vollmer is healthy enough to pick things up and throw them around.

I think Vollmer is a bigger story than Gronk. He stunk up the place the last time we played the Giants, he gave up like 4 sacks. Now if he was hurt before that game or hurt during it who cares. But if he is healthy Solder can play TE and spell Gronk. I dont want the Fat Cannon out there trying to keep up with thier speed rushers! The domino effect doesnt begin with Gronk, it begins with Vollmer.
